It's about time they started playing in Huddersfield. How long's it been now?

Ha! Ha!

Hey you lot have a decent stadium now,perhaps they can merge with you and the rfl can give you million quid.

The shop would have to start selling flip flops.

Fax flops - does n't sound quite right after Friday.

Why don't they look at playing at Hallam FC or somewhere like that, they really don't need a massive ground and something more localised might bring in more fans.
It must be depressing watching week in, week out at an empty Bramhall or Don Valley.

Doesn't Hallam FC have a massive slope? Or is that Sheffield FC? Either way I don't think either ground is upto much. A quick look on Wikipedia shows that Sheff FC's ground accommodates 2000 while Hallam's only half that.

They played at the Dog Stadium (owlerton?) next to the College just on from Hillsborough when they first started up. But I don't think that meets RFL criteria either.

Don't think that Woodburn Road athletics joint is much cop either, so there is very few options within the city of Sheffield. Other than possibly play at a very low level football ground and that's been terrible for Oldham since they moved to the Whitebank after leaving Boundary Park.

Quotes
"Why isn't the council or rfl helping us, it's a poor state of affairs when the current championship champions are left to fight for a home alone! I pray we get somewhere in SHEFFIELD as Mark Aston has worked tirelessly to make us the club we are! We may not have many supporters but the ones we have are red and gold throughout!"

It's soul destroying, 13 years of hard work and this? The council ought to be ashamed when you vocoder what Sheffield Eagles have achieved. I'm so gutted. I pray we get something. I love Sheffield Eagles and they should be in Sheffield

Yes I'm sure the Sheffield rate payers would love the council to bale out a club that no one in Sheffield has heard about (apart from 500 supporters"

If you admit you haven't many supporters, is that the right way to influence support from the council.

Another shambles which shows up Rugby League.

Wouldn't you rather the RFL helped the Eagles with this rather than buy odsal and not tell the truth about why and then encourage the RL "family" to throw loads of money at a lying Bradford Bulls?

No,

RFL could rent Odsel to the Eagles!!

Yep

I think they already know.

I hope they do find somewhere and can build up something of a following but it really does look like there is little appetite for RL in Sheffield, it's a massive city but to be fair even the football clubs don't really draw massive crowds, just bigish ones for the level they are playing at.
England's 5th biggest city, pop. 1/2 million people so they are getting about .2% of the population at best so you cannot really expect the council to give a damn.

Good luck to them next season & beyond from me. For this season, tatty-bye & all that.
